Auger Shell vs Extra White
Both from Sherwin-Williams's palette. Auger Shell reads as grey, while Extra White reads as white — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Extra White (LRV 86) reflects noticeably more light than Auger Shell (LRV 30), a difference of 56 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Both lean neutral, so they'll behave similarly in mixed or changing light conditions. With a ΔE of 33.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
